SMRT Engineer Negligence causes Death of 2 Trainees, Jailed 4 weeks

Back in March 2016, former assistant engineer Lim Say Heng, 48 lead a team of 15 onto the MRT tracks. Among the team was two SMRT trainees, Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 26, and Muhammad Asyraf Admad Buhari, 24. Going in with the mindset of learning new skills, little did the pair know that they were going to be victims in SMRT’s worst rail accident in history.

While tending to a track fault near Pasir Ris Station, the pair were killed by an MRT train. And this blame falls on Mr Lim’s shoulder as he failed to take necessary precaution to avoid such an accident.
